The television and the bookshelf are honored places for those Sims that thrive on stories. The film and literature Sim revels in the comedy and the mystery present in all intricate narratives.
Enthusiasm
Once Sims have gained the Film & Literature Hobby, they’ll have a hidden need to perform activities related to reading or watching movies. Since this is similar to Sims 2’s Hobby Enthusiasm, that’s what I’m referring to.
This isn’t visible in the User Interface. However, you’ll receive a notification when your Sim’s hobby enthusiasm is low. Don’t worry; this takes 3 days to drop to this level if your Sim does nothing related to Film & Literature in that time.
Autonomy
Sims with the Film & Literature Hobby Trait will be more likely to do hobby-related activities autonomously. All of these activities will boost a Sim’s hobby enthusiasm. These activities include, but are not exclusive to:Writing BooksReadingPhotographyWatching Movies (Movie Hangout)Telling Group Stories (Outdoor Retreat)Recording Videos (Get Famous)Acting (Get Famous)Puppet Shows (Kids Room Stuff)
